ECMT Handbook

GETS is how you can make a voice telephone call (landline and/or mobile) when all the phone lines are jammed (i.e., after a disaster).

You should have been issued a card (resembles a gold credit card) with a phone number and PIN. This PIN is specific to you.

If you do not have a GETS card or don't know where it is, please contact prepare@ucdavis.edu. Additionally, please feel free to attend office hours if you have any questions.

GETS Tips
  • Using GETS can be easy (instructions below). Keep your GETS card handy at all times so you can enter your PIN when trying to make a call.
  • GETS is for official use only and all calls are logged/reviewed regularly. Non-official calls will be billed at a cost of $0.07 per minute.
  • You can also download an app on your smartphone to avoid needing the card and PIN (please see attached "PTS Dialer App Factsheet" for more information).
  • To update GETS information, add new users, or ask any questions, please contact prepare@ucdavis.edu.
  • There are additional pdfs available online containing helpful information:
